Can I take out the quad base to convert it into a regular cane?

In order to make the strength of the cane itself to stay strong, the base of this quad cane cannot be uninstalled or removed. We do appreciate your feedback and possibly would consider to add this feature into our future product line. Thank you.

If the cane is strictly used as a prop it will work fine. I would not put your full weight on it.

The handle of the cane should be at the same height as your wrist. Don't try to unscrew the cane at the bottom! Press in real hard on the button to adjust the quadpod ... it will require some force to make the adjustment.

No, I don't think you can. It may be possible if you want to put a lot of time and effort into taking it apart and putting it back together. Doesn't look very fun though.

I am not aware of any different bases. This is just a good rigid walking cane when assembled.

YES! I have used these canes for 2 years and there is only one model. I saw the low price offered by one vendor and just ordered a spare. A great cane that is more stable than a single tip without having a quad cane. Buy the low price one NOW!

Yes, the old cane tip has to be removed. If it is on too tight to pull off then you have to take a knife or box cutter and split it in half. Make sure you cut away from your body so the knife does not slip and cut you. Then you can clean off the cane where the tip was before you put on the new cane tip.

No. There are no movable parts on the cane, but I don't see how it would make any difference which hand you hold it with.

It could possibly be done, but it won't be easy. The base is hard plastic, not bendable. If you cut the base, you're probably going to have to glue them down as opposed to using screws in the pre drilled holes.

You pull the rubber tip off your cane and slide the quad tip on the cane. It is is very sturdy and adds minimal weight to the cane.

Dear Bessie,The base is INCLUDED with the cane. You will need to attach the base to the cane.A wrench comes with and the instructions are easy to follow--Ed

You pop the tip of your current cane off and push this one in its place. I will warn you, it is SOLID rubber and VERY heavy.

Yes. I believe you can dissasemble it for travel by removing the hanble. Honestly, if you use a cane regularly, once you use this cane, none will compare. I took this cane on a cruise with me and it has become my preferred assisted device. Hope this helps.

Yes that would be easy to do. I can lift mine of the base and add it to a built in unit at any time.

It can be removed. I thought about taking it off but it does come in handy and never gets in the way. BTW for a heavy duty cane it is very light in weight.

You must smack this Quad Pod on a hard surface to seat it into the base of the cane. This item has a tapered insert that comes with an allen wrench to secure it to the bottom of a hollow aluminum cane. It does not come out unless you remove the allen screw.

As far as I can tell it doesn't without a lot of effort. Why would you want to? I love this cane the way it is.
